“It was very interesting in the beginning, we all were surprised,” Stuff.co.nz quoted Lauda, as saying.

“But if this continues...then we will lose spectators or interest because the main public wants to see the world champions winning. We need two races with known winners and then the crazy stuff can start again,” he added.

There are three more champions on the starting grid who are yet to win this season, and if McLaren''s Lewis Hamilton, Lotus''s Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes'' Michael Schumacher wins next three races one each, that would mean nine races with nine different winners.
